It's out with the old and in with the new!

As the year of 2017 starts to take everybody by storm, here are a few things to pay attention to. Although I can not predict the future, I chose what I think will be the three most important events of the 2017.

1. Donald Trump's Inauguration


On Friday, January 20th, Donald Trump will assume office as the 45th President of the United States, marking the return of a Republican to the Presidential office as well as the first time in history when the House of Representatives, Senate, and Presidency will all be mainly controlled by the Republican Party. This also marks the end of the eight year office of President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and quite possibly the best First Lady the White House has ever seen: Michelle Obama.

BOSS: MICHELLE OBAMA

We'll miss you guys!



2. Total Solar Eclipse

On August 21st, the Sun and the Moon will engage in a Total Solar Eclipse, a phase in which the moon will gradually line up with the sun, and at one point, it will completely cover the sun, thrusting the Earth into temporary darkness. If you live in the United States you may be able to see parts of the eclipse, however it will depend on where you live (there will not be another one until 2024!). Check this website to see if you may be able to look at the Eclipse: http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/path_through_the_U...



3. Star Wars Episode VIII

Following the recent losses of both Carrie Fisher and her mother, Debbie Reynolds, Star Wars fans will be happy to hear that they will be able to see her for a last time in the eighth installment of the series. Episode 8, which was previously planned to be released in the middle of 2018, is now due to release on December 15th instead, so we don't have to wait more than a year from now to see it (although it's still a long ways away.)

RIP Carrie & Debbie

You both will be missed!



Other Good Movies to Look Out For in 2017:

- Hidden Figures (Jan. 6)

- Beauty and the Beast (Mar. 17)

- Wonder (Apr. 7)

- Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 (May 5)

- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (May 26)

- Spider-Man: Homecoming (July 7)

- War for the Planet of the Apes (July 14)

- Thor: Ragnarok (Nov. 3)

- Pitch Perfect 3 (Dec. 22)

Like I said, I can't predict the future, but these were the 3 events I thought to be most important to 2017. Now, go break some New Years Resolutions!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
